new driveshafts??
I have a '70 F-250 4x4 with a 390 4-speed. My driveshafts are shot, to the point where the slip joints on them have enough play that the driveshafts wobble. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good place to get new driveshafts and/or have driveshafts completely rebuilt?? This is the third time I've rebuilt this truck (after rolling it last winter), and the driveshafts are some of the only original parts left, with 560,000 miles on them. Thanks for the help guys.

Not too familiar with your area. I went to Driveline Service here in California. The slip yokes were worn, but not wobbly. Not to mention that the main reason why I had to have the drivelines worked on was due to a broken u-joint. But they were very worn and out of balance. They basically made new main and rear drivelines up with the heavy duty non-greaseable u-joints. The front drive line only got the new u-joints with zerk fittings. The cost was about $450 or so. I decided not to go full out on the front driveline because it's not used as much and when used would be at lower speeds.

scrap yards are no good for these types of parts, since 4x4 trucks in this area are run until they literally fall apart. There is a driveline shop about 100 miles from here, I think I'll give them a try. thanks for the advice.
